A specific mutation in PA-PLA1α causes abnormal hair growth.

This case report describes the treatment of a 12-year-old female with Alopecia Areata using oral azathioprine.

This review discusses the physiological roles of anthrax toxin receptors CMG2 and TEM8, highlighting their influence on extracellular matrix homeostasis, angiogenesis, cell migration, and skin elasticity, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that phototoxic psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy with topical 8-MOP was effective in treating alopecia areata resistant to other treatments, improving hair regrowth with minimal side effects.

This review discusses the condition alopecia areata and summarizes its available treatments, mentioning three recently approved Janus kinase inhibitors, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that pelage abnormalities in Harlequin mutant mice are linked to severe AIF deficiency and associated with altered expression of genes related to hair structure.

This study synthesized silver nanoparticles using an Artocarpus heterophyllus leaf extract and found that these nanoparticles, with a size of 100–110 nm, displayed effective antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities in vitro.

In this study, UPA at doses of 15 mg and 30 mg showed higher efficacy than placebo for treating severe alopecia areata in adults and adolescents over 24 weeks, with a safety profile similar to approved uses.

This study found that increased mRNA expression of the Ectodysplasin-A2-Receptor, observed across multiple species and tissues, may exacerbate inflammation during aging, suggesting potential benefits of blocking EDA2R/EDA-A2 signaling.

This study identified trichohyalin as an early differentiation marker in hair follicles, with potential structural roles related to alpha-helical formations, based on the partial characterization of its cDNA in sheep.

The hydrogel helps heal seawater-immersed wounds by reducing infection and inflammation.

This report describes a patient with symptoms suggestive of both loose anagen hair syndrome and uncombable hair syndrome, adding to previous instances of overlapping features between these conditions.

This study found HLA and beta 2-microglobulin antigens in various skin structures, with specific localization patterns in keratinocytes and hair follicle components, but not in eccrine or apocrine glands.

This study found that ACOD1 deficiency in dermal papilla cells promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and contributes to cellular senescence in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting ACOD1 as a potential therapeutic target and 4-octyl itaconate as a promising treatment option for AGA.

HDMHG0401-10 improves hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia and has no major side effects.

This review discusses the challenges in identifying specific hair follicle antigens involved in initiating alopecia areata and highlights the need for further research to understand its etiopathogenesis, reporting no new results.

This study suggests a new subtype of alopecia, termed 'acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp' (ADTAFS), characterized by acute and total hair loss in women with a favorable recovery profile.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This study describes an adaptive hair extension method designed to improve comfort, durability, and aesthetics, based on analysis of hypothetical client profiles and their biomechanical tolerance.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

In this study, two unrelated Honduran patients with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome had the same genetic mutation but displayed different disease severities, suggesting that factors beyond the ALDH3A2 mutation influence clinical outcome.

This study found that the 3' UTR of JAM-A acts as a key competing endogenous RNA that supports dermal papilla cell function and hair follicle regeneration in alopecia areata.

This study found that upadacitinib significantly improved hair regrowth compared to placebo in adults and adolescents with severe alopecia areata, and demonstrated a positive benefit-risk profile.

This study analyzed survey responses from 800 alopecia areata patients and found a possible genetic association with increased insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in relatives but not in the patients themselves.

This study developed a questionnaire based on Andersen’s behavioral model to explore psychological well-being and mental health help-seeking behaviors among alopecia areata patients from underserved communities, aiming to better understand factors influencing their mental healthcare utilization.

This study found that OCT4-overexpressing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells show promise for artificial hematopoiesis by enhancing self-renewal through cytoskeletal remodeling and the beta-catenin-dependent adherens junction pathway.

In this study, researchers developed hyaluronic acid derivatives functionalized with nitric oxide photodonors for light-activated skin treatments, finding that the compounds released NO under blue light and enhanced keratinocyte proliferation and migration, suggesting potential for therapeutic use.

This study found that HAMA hydrogels promote faster healing of skin wounds in mice by enhancing the accumulation of anti-inflammatory macrophages and increasing type III collagen in the local wound environment.

This study identified two high sulfur protein genes, B2E and B2F, in rats, which are expressed in hair cortical cells during anagen and contribute to hair fiber production.
